Corrupted screen during games

Hello there!

I'm using the xf86-video-ati driver for my Radeon9800XT, since the catalyst driver always gives me system locks.
These drivers work well, I have direct rendering and glxgears shows about 5100 FPS.

However, during gaming, doesn't matter what game, I get strange lines... corruption on my screen. Can't really explain it , so here is a screenshot:

This is my xorg.conf

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
    RgbPath      "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load  "record"
    Load  "extmod"
    Load  "glx"
    Load  "dbe"
    Load  "freetype"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    Driver      "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "auto"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "BNQ"
    ModelName    "BenQ FP767-12"
    HorizSync    31.0 - 83.0
    VertRefresh  56.0 - 76.0
    Option        "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "radeon"
    VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
    BoardName   "RV350 NJ [Radeon 9800 XT]"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option    "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"    "on"
    Option    "EnablePageFlip"    "on"
    Option    "BackingStore"    "on"
    Option    "AGPMode"    "4"
    Option    "AccelMethod"    "XAA"
    Option    "ColorTiling"    "on"
    Option    "RenderAccel"    "on"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes    "1280x1024"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
    Mode    0666
EndSection

Section    "Extensions"
    Option    "Composite"    "Enable"
EndSection

I have no idea how this is possible, does anyone know ?

Thanks in advance!
Kevin
